Author Spotlight: Patti Jo Moore

Hi friends! Today, our author spotlight is on Patti Jo Moore! Everyone, say hello to Patti Jo! She is a great friend of mine. Without further ado, let's get to know Patti Jo and her book Sadie's Dream.

 
Author Bio:
“Sweet, Southern Stories” Author Patti Jo Moore is a lifelong Georgia girl, and loves Jesus, her family, cats, and coffee. She was a first grade/kindergarten teacher for 21 years, until severe back/spinal issues forced her to retire early. Seeing this as an opportunity to write full-time, Patti Jo began writing Sadie’s Dream, her historical novel set near her beloved Georgia coast. After working off and on with this story, she put it aside and wrote several contemporary stories. In November 2017, Patti Jo was thrilled to receive a three-book contract from Forget-Me-Not Books, and her Emerald Coast Romances series was published over the next two years. But her love of historical stories was still in her heart, so she rewrote her original story, Sadie’s Dream, which released on her birthday in 2019. She will soon be releasing another contemporary story, For the Love of Llamas, and is also completing a Christmas novella.

Patti Jo feels beyond blessed to be on this writing journey, and when she’s not writing, she can be found spending time with her family (especially her 2 precious grandbabies!), reading, doing needlepoint, and feeding cats (her six plus any strays in her area). She loves connecting with readers and other writers, and you can find her on Facebook at Author Patti Jo Moore, or visit her blog at https://catmomscorner.blogspot.com She also blogs the second Thursday of each month at Seriously Write. Her books are available (print and ebook) on Amazon. BOOKS by Patti Jo Moore: A Seaside Romance ~ An Unexpected Romance ~ In Tune With Romance ~ Sadie’s Dream
Life Verse: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Colossians 3:23


Sadie's Dream Back Cover Blurb

After being deceived by her beau the previous year, library worker Sadie Perkins feels she’s meant to remain single and serve as a missionary to orphans in Africa. Her plan is to return home to Riverview after a year, and open an orphanage in a lovely house she’s admired since childhood. She didn’t plan on losing her heart to someone who intends to demolish the house.

Widower Shaun O’Leary of Savannah yearns to make his father proud, and hopes to accomplish that by overseeing a hotel project in the town of Riverview. But first he must have a house demolished before hotel construction can begin. After meeting lovely Sadie Perkins in Riverview, he’s puzzled why she seems upset when he mentions his plans. He’s also saddened that she’s leaving for Africa soon, because he’s fallen in love with her.
As Sadie prepares to board a ship, she finally has peace and realizes what she should do, yet still feels sad that the house she loves is to be demolished. When Shaun suddenly has an idea to save the house Sadie loves, he rushes to the Savannah port to tell her, but the ship has sailed. When things seem hopeless, can dreams still come true?

Friends, I sure hope you enjoyed getting to know Patti Jo Moore and Sadie's Dream.

    1. Hi Terri! Thank you for your kind words about my Emerald Coast Series. I first got the idea to set a series on the Florida panhandle coast when my 4 best friends and I had a girlfriends' getaway there. One of my besties has a condo in Destin, and each morning we sat on the balcony looking at the gorgeous beach. My fictional town formed in my head and refused to leave, LOL!
      Thanks for stopping by!

    Yes, I LOVE cats! About 12 years ago, my daughter's boyfriend (now my son-in-law!) began calling me CatMom, and the name stuck!
